A scenic walk along a cherry-tree-lined canal connecting three of Kyoto's great temples.
The Philosopher's walk is a classic walk in Kyoto that connects several ancient temples via a meandering, paved trail. This attraction is highly recommended on any visit to Kyoto, as it combines visits to three magnificent temples, including typical Japanese gardens, with an opportunity to stretch your legs while taking in the typical serene Japanese atmosphere.
The route got its name from a Kyoto University philosophy professor, Nishida Kitaro, who used it for his daily meditation.
